A man was seriously injured in an accident in Frankford Sunday last week.
57-year-old Jeff Kugler was operating an ATV on a field when the vehicle unexpectedly overturned. Kugler sustained multiple injuries, including broken ribs, and was taken to the University of Missouri Hospital for treatment. There was no other vehicle present when the accident occurred. Officials continue to investigate the case and will release more info when appropriate.
Many accidents involving small vehicles, such as ATVs and UTVs, can result in serious or debilitating injuries and have to be carefully examined for possible vehicle defects/failures, among other possibilities. Whatever the outcome, the involvement of any form of negligence should enable injured parties to explore legal avenues against liable companies or individuals.
